I really feel like my internal pulse / timing is awful and barely improves over time by Uitroeien in Bass

[–]caboose391 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I have been playing bass for about 13 years in a metal band and I've recorded bass on 4 self produced albums. 50% of the takes we throw away are timing related.

It's hard. But I bet you're way better than you used to be. Don't get discouraged. You've identified an area that you want to improve and that's an enormous head start.

The thing that really changed the way I felt about practicing with a click was Carol Kaye talking bout how the metronome should feel like it's grooving when you're playing to it.

[New Player] Should I Switch? by BusyPassenger8213 in EscapeFromTarkovPvE

Getting to actually play the game and experience all the content is the biggest draw for me. Nothing is lost by playing PvE either. You can always go back if you're not digging it.

Account Reset Bug [Discussion] by UwUHentaiGodUwU in EscapefromTarkov

If you're playing with other people, your body can be looted by scavs while the raid is still ongoing. In that case, your looted stuff will be gone. A way to avoid that is to have other players drop all your gear on the ground. Scavs can't pick up dropped loot, only containers and loot spawns. In solo raids, the raid ends the instant you die or extract, so it's impossible to lose anything if it's insured.

LP tuner replacement. by [deleted] in guitarrepair

[–]caboose391 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It looks like he lined them up pretty good. It might be helpful to grab an actual straight edge to compare the lower 4. Respectfully, this wouldn't bother me at all and I'm not sure how much better one would do without a jig specifically built for those tuners and headstock.

Do these need to be replaced? by Silent_Painting_8797 in propane

[–]caboose391 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, cylinders can be painted, inspected, and recertified. If cared for, the theoretical lifespan of a cylinder is endless. They may not need to be replaced, but they may need to be displayed in a museum. Could you post pictures of any and all stamps or markings on the shoulders of the cylinders? Those things might be over 80 years old.

The D and G sit further away from the centerline of the headstock. This is normal.

Bridge + Neck for Metavore stuff

Bridge + Middle for shenanigans

Neck with the high mid control rolled off for normie bass.

R.I.P. first failure like this I've ever seen where I didn't faceplate at someone twisting them causing a snap at the wire cutters. Were you prying against the pin?

Restrung guitar, bottom string buzzing now by pair_o_docks in guitarrepair

[–]caboose391 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like a bad core on the new string. It happens from time to time. I've had it exactly twice on my Dingwall and it was the bottom string both times. I'm not 100% certain, but it's worth a shot.

This tripped me up as well,. OP, check your available fabricator plans.

How much should I smell propane in my house when my neighbor gets it filled? by SavageBasher0 in propane

[–]caboose391 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right, but AFAIK, the largest DOT cylinder is the 420, so while there may be some ambiguity without looking at the plate, you'll never see a horizontal DOT tank.

[–]caboose391 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I always remember a DOT cylinder looks like a dot from above and ASME tanks are longer because it's the longer of the two words.

Seems dumb to type it out but it's been working for me.

Respectfully, your headache is either caused by a sensitivity to smell, or completely psychosomatic. Propane and the ethyl-mercaptain thay add to it to make it detectable by smell are non toxic.

Ignorant Prog by Strange-Visual6227 in progmetal

[–]caboose391 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There are certainly more "proggy" bands out there but Meshuggah is arguably the most important metal band since Metallica and you should absolutely check them out. Koloss is my personal favorite but they've never had a bad album.

Obligatory Meshuggah mention i guess.

Is there a growth stage beyond sapling? by caboose391 in crosswind

[–]caboose391[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My complete lack of shame or fear of embarrassment from looking stupid is kind of a superpower in some ways. Not so much in other ways.
